This year, we recognize a remarkable group of alumnae with the Daniel and Jane Carpenter Award in honor of their service on the Northampton School for Girls 100th Anniversary Committee:
- Pamela (Mitchell) Andros ’67
- Faith W. Barrington ’61
- Sara A. Cornwall ’70
- Deborah (Black) Davis ’58
- Marcia (Booth) Drinkard ’70
- Andrea (Madsen) Gilmore ’70
- Joan Keefe ’58
- Jill (Gordon) Mark ’71
- Linda A. Shlosser Wood ’73
- Sally (Myser) Wadhams ’71
- Linda LaShier-Underhill ’71
Together, these women worked collectively to honor the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Northampton School for Girls. Their reflections share common threads: deep appreciation for their NSFG education, admiration for inspiring faculty, lifelong friendships, and a shared commitment to preserving the school’s legacy.
When asked about the impact NSFG had on their lives, committee members spoke of how NSFG created opportunities where before there were few, celebrated academic excellence alongside extracurricular pursuits, and nurtured their confidence during formative years. Many noted the enduring impact of Miss Bement’s French program and the warmth and motherly presence of Miss Whitaker. Through their leadership and dedication, they helped ensure that the spirit of NSFG not only lives on—but thrives at Williston Northampton.
